Upgraded pellet to improve seedling vigor.

Propellet elite is a targeted, precise approach for enhancing seed genetics for optimal seedling establishment. By adding essential micronutrients to the pellet, the seed’s radical begins to absorb nutrients as soon as it emerges, helping to strengthen the seedling root and foliage mass to withstand the field transplant process. This conventional seed pellet enables some growers to bypass transplanting and direct sow into the field to reduce transplant costs.

Key benefits

Improve seedling vigor in the greenhouse or field

Since 2014, propellet elite has continued to aid the successful establishment of thousands of acres of celery annually. Due to grower recognition of its beneficial properties and the need for cost-effective solutions to enhance seed performance in the greenhouse and in the field, the elite seed technology is available as a pellet or filmcoat for carrots, jalapenos, and tomatillos.

Propellet^® elite is an innovative seed pellet solution to a grower’s problem.

Propellet elite product development began with a single customer inquiry. A commercial celery grower was experiencing crop loss when transporting seedlings from the greenhouse to the field. The customer contacted Germains to see if a seed technology could be developed to improve celery seedling vigor and root mass for transplanting. Based on the grower’s circumstances, Germains’ Research and Development team customized an existing seed pellet by combining it with beneficial health products that deliver stronger roots and canopy vigor to improve the crop’s overall performance from transplant to harvest.
